IP ratings refer to the rank of protection given by a casing, against solids and water. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids such as dust, followed by the one that refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX4, the Technics EAH AZ80's rating is read as, the first value of X denotes that no data available to specify a protection rating, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. Compared to the Technics EAH AZ80, Jabra Elite 7 Pro have a rating of IP57 meaning that
ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety

Active noise cancellation utilises more advanced technology to actively cancel noise. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) then adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero therefore "diluting" the noise.
The Technics EAH AZ80 have ANC allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. Jabra Elite 7 Pro too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour commutes.

Technics EAH AZ80 have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. A driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, its size corellates with the sound produced by the earbuds.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro driver unit is 6mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Technics EAH AZ80 by 4mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound. Technics EAH AZ80's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well a particular audio component produces low recognizable frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Jabra Elite 7 Pro's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
Technics EAH AZ80's highest frequency is at 40,000Hz, high-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component makes high recognizable frequencies and if it changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 7 Pro's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that
Technics EAH AZ80 generate a clearer and crispier treble than the Jabra Elite 7 Pro
